Jewish Voice for Peace Supports the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe

Jewish Voice for Peace stands with the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe and all the Native nations gathered alongside them in this historic movement.

We are moved by the profound, prayerful, and steadfast Indigenous-led resistance rising up against the deadly path white supremacy and colonialism carves for Native people and communities, and indeed for our entire planet.

The camps may have been raided, but the fight is not over.

As an organization focused on fighting for Palestinian rights, we see many parallels between the struggle for indigenous sovereignty in Standing Rock and Israel/Palestine. We see stolen and expropriated resources and land: from the path of the apartheid wall over Palestinian aquifers to the route DAPL took–diverting the danger of an oil leak away from predominately white areas and onto Native land. We see intense violence in response to nonviolent protest. And we see necessary, courageous, powerful indigenous resistance for survival and self-determination.

Support Oceti Sakowin: it’s the main, and biggest, camp at Standing Rock. As winter deepens, there is ever more dire need to support their winterization efforts and ongoing infrastructure.

Travel to Standing Rock

To get a better handle on where and how to plug in, a group of trainers nationally created some wonderful tools for non-native folks going to be allies/accomplices to the Oceti Sakowin (council of 7 tribes) at Standing Rock. They’ve created 3 documents and transcribed an orientation document requested and dictated by camp leaders.

Researching the American Israeli Alliance and Jewish Voice for Peace’s report reveals the extent of massive training programs between U.S. law enforcement and Israeli police, military, and the Shin Bet.

Days ago, Booking.com bowed to pro-Israel activists and started describing all of Jerusalem as a “city in Israel” – literally erasing Palestinian East Jerusalem. Let’s get Booking.com to tell the truth: East Jerusalem is occupied territory.

No one should be killed for taking part in a peaceful protest. It’s up to us to call on progressive Senators to investigate Israel’s massacre in Gaza that killed over 100 Palestinians wounded 12,000 others.
